Capitol Hill

When it comes to brunch, vegans have it pretty rough. With staples like eggs Benedict, French toast, and bacon off the table, vegans are often relegated to nibbling on toast (hold the butter) or a fruit plate.

Vance Kirkland's actual art studio at the Kirkland Museum. The straps hanging from the rafters allowed the artist—a mere 5-foot-2-inches tall—to float over his larger canvasses and achieve the "dot" effects he sought.

In a town brimming with wide varieties of private and public art, the Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art might be our most unsung treasure. Originally built around 1910, the nondescript Capitol Hill museum is a showcase for Vance Kirkland's own eclectic work, and...

One of Denver’s oldest neighborhoods, Cap Hill is still the city’s most densely populated neighborhood, harbors the state Capitol Building, and is within walking distance of downtown.
Boundaries: Colfax Avenue to the north, Downing Street to the east...

When I lived in Chicago, I became obsessed with Middle Eastern food. Petite, family-run eateries speckled many of the city’s streets (including one dangerously close to the “L” station I used). It was so easy to pop in and grab a falafel sandwich or kefta plate to go that it became a near-daily...
